Description Another commission completed! Yay! This little seductress is an Elven rogue/assassin and her name is Azaelyn Vel’rose. She was born from the creative mind of Heather Steele and belongs entirely to her. It was a pleasure doing business with Heather and I may be doing more pictures for her and/or her husband in the future, so I hope all my watchers enjoy her wonderful characters as well.

This took me entirely too long to complete thanks to my work schedule. I am very thankful for Heather’s patience, it made this a lot easier and more pleasant to complete. There’s nothing worse than being pressured to finish a picture so I’m glad that wasn’t the case here. Despite delays though, I am actually pretty happy with how this one turned out. Her hair gave me some issues (I’m not used to coloring black hair) but after some tweaking I eventually came to like it. The background was thrown together spur of the moment, but I kinda like how it turned out. I hope everyone else enjoys the pic too!

I think she looks lovely. Great job on her skin and really excellent background of falling rose petals and scroll-borders.

Her hair is wonderfully shiny. I'm a sucker for the dark haired ladies. :3 And the new computer is really helping your work. ^___^

You do just as well on surface elves as drow and that really shows diversity in talent. I think she's sexy; love the "come" hither look, but I adore her outfit, especially the cool shirt that displays her shaplier assets. She reminds me of a tough, kick-your-ass version of Arwen. This is great.

*bounce bounce bounce* And NO that was not a reference to her *clears her throat* ample topside. ^_^ It was my entrance here, again to thank darrkestdrow for the awesome piccy. I love how intricate the corset work is. *prods people to look at it* You did an excellent job capturing her (even with the teeny amount of info I provided to you!) THANKS AGAIN!

Oooh she has luscious hair. Nothing like a nice glossy head of hair to distract the menfolk with. Thats if they can tear their eyes away from close examination of that *ahem* tattoo

One of your best pieces in my opinion. The folds of her blouse was really detailed and realistic compared to your usual pieces. The leather looks real, and your shading has improved.

Nice "transparency" to the background too. Very good work!

I really don't do anything different with my shading. I think the improvment comes from the new computer monitor. My older one was so old it wasn't picking up colors properly (especially darker ones), which is why everything looked pale and faded. It looked ok to me on my crappy monitor, but to everyone else it looked kinda washed out and the shading never picked up too well.

Now that I've got a new monitor though, I can see the difference and can now make the colors richer and the shading deeper.

No worries though, I'll have some more man meat for ya sooner or later.

...That's some elf! Amazing, you really CAN draw light skinned elves! ...Meh, I like the pretty drow boys better. But I'm biased!

It's a lot harder to color light skinned chars than drow skinned chars.
It used to be the other way around but I drew drow so much it's really hard to get the color right on light skin now... Or maybe I'm just out of practice in general. I don't get to do art too much nowadays.
